When her best friend Kay is taken by the Snow Queen to a world of numbing ice and snow, Gerda embarks on an unforgettable adventure across singing flowers, leaping reindeer, and unbreakable riddles. Will Gerda’s love and grief save her best friend Kay before he is trapped forever in the Snow Queen’s palace? Join us in this courageous and whimsical tale of deep human connection and belonging.
Readied for its West Coast Premiere in collaboration with our local and regional partners The National Nordic Museum and Western Washington University, comes a fresh new take on the same classic tale that inspired Disney’s Frozen.
Digital Production
The Girl Who Swallowed a Cactus
Homeschool PERFORMANCES | FOR AGES 7+
SCT is partnering with The From-Home Fest to present a digital production of The Girl Who Swallowed A Cactus, written by Eric Coble and performed live on Zoom by Tia Shearer Bassett.
School is out for the summer, the weather is hot and the boredom is heavy. But 8-year-old Sheila and her pack of pals aren’t going to let the summer heat wear them down. When their fantastical junkyard fort draws the attention of a walking, talking, surprisingly well-dressed coyote, the adventurers suddenly find themselves deep in the desert, facing The Council of Howls, The Sting Brigade, The Death Cactus, and much more. It’s a whirlwind adventure about how we affect the environment and the animals with whom we share the planet, and how we take on the mission of saving the world from ourselves. A unique twist on traditional storytelling, where a bit of moonlight brings a menagerie of found objects to life, this original play shows that the power of memory and imagination can captivate and inspire audiences of all ages.
Because of this show's digital format, Homeschool groups should register for one of our public performance offerings: January 25, 2025 at 11:00am or February 2, 2025 at 2:00pm.
The Hula Hoopin' Queen

“Around and around the hoops went that day. Circles connecting a community.”
Three Harlem girls vie for the crown of The Hula Hoopin’ Queen, encouraged and mentored by the community elders in master playwright Gloria Bond Cunie’s spirited adaptation of Thelma Lynn Godin’s book. A sweet, funny, and energetic slice-of-life reminder of the essential loops that
bind our communities.

Will the club survive? Will the frogs ever get along? And will creativity finally save the day? All will be answered in this madcap musical based on Dav Pilkey’s irreverently hilarious book series.
